I have one of the original Frx from riffraff. I started smelling fuel on my way home from the norcal fires. I popped the hood and found the passenger side line sprung a leak. I've contacted clay already but I need my truck. Since its operating at under 70psi could I use a brass barb and fuel line hose clamps as a fix?
I don't think the fuel pressure is high enough to spit out a barbed fitting.
Thoughts?

I have the older style. The new one is a different setup
I'm dumbfounded on what it was rubbing on.
Now if I could find a writeup on how to get rid of the AIH relay I'd be happy. It's just sitting there doing nothing but still has a couple wires connected.

Aih is simple. Open up the harness, cut the power wires cleanly, screw on a wirenut, tape, them tightly, and fold the ends into the harness.
Unbolt the relay, the grounds, and the control wires, and discard.
You'll need to secure the control wire ends also, as they have power occasionally.

Happen to.have a couple pics. I've searched and no real writeups

Not really.
Get up on the header, and start opening the harness. The power wires are the bigger ones. They'll be hot, so pay attention where you lay them, or you'll see sparks.
